Latta, 24, daur, b. Leeds, Yorkshire In 1872, a group of young men met on a wet Sunday afternoon in Dumbarton. This meeting does not appear in the history book but was of immense importance to the people of Dunbartonshire and to sport. For this group of men were founding a football club after seeing their first ever match on the Saturday when Vale of Leven traveled to the Old Recreation Ground at Crosshill, Glasgow to be beaten 3-0 by Queens Park. These men were forging a team that was to carry the name of Dumbarton to wherever football was played or talked about. Many Dumbarton players have been capped by Scotland, particularly in the 1880s. Most players capped in the 20th Century were former players or joined late into their careers Name: A. Latta; Caps: 2; Years: 1888-1889.
The first league game at Goodison Park took place on 3 rd September 1892 with Nottingham Forest supplying the opposition, Everton’s line up for the match was:
The game ended in a 2-2 draw and the honour of scoring the first competitive goal at Goodison went to Forest’s Horace Pike, with the first Everton goal coming from, inevitably, Fred Geary. The team’s first league victory came in the next home game when they crushed Newton Heath, later to become Manchester united, 6-0. Everton’s form was patchy until mid January 1893 when a 1-0 home victory over West Bromwich Albion started a sequence of 14 unbeaten games which consisted of eight straight league wins and would see the team finish in a respectable third place behind champions Sunderland and runners-up Preston North End. The season saw Everton record their highest total of league goals, 74, Fred Geary was again the side's top scores with 19 but he was pushed all the way by Alex Latta who scored 18. On 11 th February 1893 the team recorded an extremely impressive 6-0 victory over Preston at Goodison Park and the game was witnessed by a record 30,000, paying £736 for the privilege, and this went a long way of ensuring the club’s future. http://www.efchistory.co.uk/Goodison%20Park%20-%20the%20First%20Season.htm

October 4, 1918, while visiting Denver, Colo. He says that the Coat of Arms and crest, used by his family, in Scotland, is a Bay tree, and no shield, with the motto "Dum Vivo Vireo. This, except the motto, differs from that of the Crusader. See my Scrap Book.
